ASSHAIAsshai, often known as Asshai by the Shadow due to its close proximity to the Shadow Lands north of its coast. It located along the Saffron Straits and to go to Asshai, is to pass beneath the shadow. The city is wealthy due to its exports of dragonglass, amber, gold and other gems. Though some are wary of the gold, Asshai is reliant about food and freshwater brought in by trade so the valuables given are worth the endeavour. Beware that while the population is no more than a market town, the walls are vast enough to contain many popular cities and it's denizers powerful due to sorcery and knowledge.

YI-TIThe Golden Empire of Yi Ti is a realm located in the eponymous region of the Further East of Essos. It is the supposed successor to the mythic Great Empire of the Dawn, which, according to legend, fell during the Long Night. It is ruled by a God-Emperor, who is worshiped as divine and resides in the city of Si Qo. Yi Ti's landscape is vast and diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Shadow Lands and Mountains of the Morn in the east to heat and unforgivable aridity of The Bone Mountains and the Great Sand Sea. This diverse set of landscapes grows magnificently different cultures and peoples, all of which are now united.
